Dear WSU Community,
On August 3, 2015, the Washington State University’s
online information portal, currently named zzusis, will be transitioning to the new name “myWSU.”
What does the change mean to current zzusis users?
The renaming of zzusis to myWSU is the only major change to users. In order to log
in to myWSU, users will go to my.wsu.edu. The zzusis.wsu.edu domain will automatically
redirect users to myWSU indefinitely. Individuals who have this url bookmarked will
still be able to successfully reach the portal without interruption. Users will log
into myWSU with their existing WSU network ID and password.
What does the name change mean to WSU colleges and departments?
All WSU colleges and departments who currently reference “zzusis” in any
of their communications, printed materials, publications, or on their website
will need to transition to using myWSU by December 31, 2015.
An online toolbox has been set up at brand.wsu.edu/mywsu as a resource to provide
graphics and other information useful in editing information and materials referencing the myWSU portal.
Why is the name changing?
The renaming effort was proposed by the late WSU President Elson S. Floyd,
who expressed concerns that the name zzusis, used originally to describe the
WSU student information system, had evolved in recent years to describe the entire
WSU online portal. The portal is used to access the student information system, but
also provides access to a variety of other databases and services. The name myWSU
more appropriately reflects the use and functionally of the services available through the portal.
The myWSU committee would like to thank everyone who has been involved in this change.
This has been a university-wide effort and we greatly appreciate the assistance of those
who have generously given of their time to help move this project forward.
Sincerely,
myWSU Committee
